Title: Eien no Rival
Author: Grasshopper (A.K.A. The Undertaker's Muse)
Rating: PG (so far)
Category: I'll (Generation Basket)
Warnings: Shounen-ai, light angst.
Spoilers: None, so far.
Pairings: Tachibana Akane x Hiiragi Hitonari
Summary: Because rivalry is sometimes love and love is always rivalry.
Author's Notes: Unless otherwise noted, none of these
chapters are interconnected; they're individual ficlets. Oh, and
be warned - all I know of I'll I know from the scanslations at
Mangascreener. :pouts: I wanna see the anime! Maybe
I can get the money out of my dad sometime… This part is from Sumire's
point of view, because I wanted to see how I could deal with her
reaction to the pairing involved. I mean, I like Sumire - how
could you not - but Tachibana/Hiiragi is the best I'll
pairing ever! …though Kondo x Minefuji is a close second.
But, yeah… It didn't turn out quite as good as I'd
hoped. Maybe next time, ne?

(1.) look over here
It's not like I asked to fall I love with Akane. It just…happened. All of those years as friends, his odd methods of encouragement, his ability to be utterly adorable one moment and extremely intolerable the next. Once I got used to him, he was…everything I never needed but still wanted.
And, just when I thought he was opening his eyes, was going to look over here at me… That's when I looked over there. That's when I realized Akane would never be mine.
As the violence of their argument - of their kiss - gentled into the more familiar struggle of their rivalry, I smiled. If I couldn't have Akane, Hitonari was probably a good choice for him. They could at least keep one another interested in things, if only for their constant competition.
This just might be more interesting than having Akane for myself…
